Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 10% profit

Given:

A sells a cycle to B at a loss of 20% and B sells it to C at a profit of 37.5%.

Formula Used:

Profit% = Profit/CP × 100

Loss% = Loss/CP × 100

Calculation:

Let the Cost Price of the cycle is Rs.100 for A

A sells to B at 20% loss, it means

SP of A = CP of B = Rs. (100 × 80/100) = Rs. 80

B sells to C at 37.5% profit

SP of B = CP of C = Rs. (80 × 137.5/100) = Rs. 110

If A sells at a price of 110, then it will gain Rs. 10

Profit percentage = Profit/CP × 100

Profit percentage = 10/100 × 100 = 10%

∴ Profit percentage for A is 10%
